Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you recommend open-protocol fire alarm systems?
Open-protocol systems give you total freedom. You aren't locked into one manufacturer or contractor for parts, programming, or servicing, which keeps your long-term maintenance costs much lower.
Can our existing building access control systems link to the fire panel?
Yes. We program advanced cause-and-effect matrixes so that your fire alarm control system automatically releases electronic security doors and access gates the moment an alarm is triggered.
What happens if our main fire control panel loses mains power?
A: Every system we install includes standby backup batteries. These batteries are continuously charged and will seamlessly keep your system fully operational for at least 24 hours during a power cut.
How often does a commercial fire alarm control panel need to be serviced?
A: In accordance with BS 5839-1 standards, commercial fire panels must be inspected and serviced by a competent technician at least once every six months, though quarterly visits are recommended for larger sites.
Can you network multiple fire panels across different buildings?
Absolutely. We can link multiple control panels across high-rise buildings or multi-block commercial developments into a single, unified network for centralised monitoring and control.
What is a fire alarm repeat panel, and do we need one?
A repeat panel mirrors the display of your main control panel. They are usually installed at secondary building entrances or security desks to help the Fire and Rescue Service quickly locate an incident.
How do modern control panels handle false alarms from dust or steam?
Our intelligent control systems use multi-sensor processing and drift compensation. They analyse heat and smoke profiles simultaneously to filter out harmless environmental factors before triggering a full alarm.
Can you take over the maintenance of a control panel installed by another company?
A: Yes. Our engineers are highly trained on all major open-protocol and closed-protocol systems. We can conduct a full compliance audit and seamlessly take over your ongoing servicing and 24/7 support.
What is cause-and-effect programming in a fire system?
It is the custom software programming inside the panel that dictates how your building responds to a fire, such as shutting down ventilation fans to stop smoke travel or recalling lifts to the ground floor.
